Training professional massage therapists with sensitivity, creativity and integrity

30 Years of MTI

2018 marks our 30th anniversary. Back in 1988, no other professional massage association was taking a holistic approach to practise, so a bunch of creative and inspired massage teachers decided to take matters into their own hands and form an organisation that reflected their values of creativity, sensitivity, and integrity.

On this page we share some of the journey from there to here, a flourishing organisation with 15 schools and 900 members.

Founders panel

At our 2018 conference we asked three of MTI's founders to talk about the origins and essence of the organisation.
